West Ham ace Parker excited by prospect of playing at Olympic stadium

West Ham United ace Scott Parker is excited by the prospect of playing at the Olympic stadium.

Having battled back for a precious point at West Bromwich Albion last weekend, the Hammers are now focusing on keeping the FA Cup run going against Burnley on Monday before Liverpool arrive on Sunday week.

"It would be great to play at the stadium," Parker told whufc.com. "Of course, you want to be playing at the best grounds and having been around the Olympic Stadium myself, it is going to be something special I am sure.

"First and foremost it is a great decision for the club - there has been a lot of work behind the scenes to get this and so that has been rewarded. It can only be a good thing for the club as it looks to build on for the future.

"It is a chance for the club to move on, keep improving. For now, though, obviously we are in the middle of a season and the main focus is on keeping the club in the Premier League."
